Hi!
I’m Cat,
Your passionate Myofunctional Therapist. You may also know me as The Honest Hygienist!

Years In Dentistry & Oral Health Care
My obsession with the intricate mouth-body connection drove me to dive deep into the world of Myofunctional Therapy. I realized that achieving optimal health requires more than just preventative dentistry, sleep apnea guards, and nutrition. Orofacial myology provided the answers I sought in my own TMJ health journey, and now, I want to share them all with YOU!

I am dedicated to educating people about the lifelong effects of tethered oral tissues and oral motor dysfunctions. Proper tongue and jaw posture could be the missing link to healing issues like breathing problems, snoring, bed-wetting, jaw pain, worn-down teeth, cavities, acid reflux, fatigue, and many more.

My Why!
Over the years, I’ve watched patients come and go from dental offices without finding the answers they need. It pains me that solutions exist, but many dentists and healthcare professionals lack the education to guide these patients. To address this, I’ve assembled a team of experts, including ENTs, craniosacral therapists, biological dentists, airway-aware orthodontists, speech pathologists, sleep specialists, and frenectomy providers. Together, we’ve created the “Avengers” of dentistry, focusing on both oral and overall health.

For Fun
When I’m not researching or listening to health podcasts, I love being outdoors soaking up the sun with my husband, playing with our black lab, or practicing my skills at the archery range.
My Mission:
To empower individuals with knowledge, enabling them to improve their oral and overall body health. I am spreading the word about proper tongue and jaw posture, helping people unlock numerous health benefits through neuromuscular re-education of the oral and facial muscles—from tongue tip to toes.
